Gigged my Ashdown Drophead 200 head with a Mesa 1x15 and Mesa 16 (1x10, 2x6) and if bandmates and audience are to be believed, the effect in the room was at times visceral. The Drophead is not the most versatile of units by comparison with my Mesa heads, but it does has something rather special lurking in the glass 👍

Having You Sneer Me - Air Supply

Yep, same here. The washing machine too. The microwave is fine, however, although it is pretty aggressive by comparison.

Yes I have it, obviously worse when you are in really quiet surroundings, like now while I’m typing out this response, just a really annoying high pitched whine, had it for many years, plus my hearing is definitely getting worse, struggle to hear high frequencies i.e. the timer on the oven from a distance, I put it down to riding motorcycles and playing in bands for over forty years.

That went totally above my head but I am in awe

I use these for my shorties: https://www.thomann.co.uk/thomann_gigbag_deluxe_egitarre.htm#bewertung They offer very good protection. Handy if you are thinking of ordering anything else to spread the postage but, even with £10 added, they are excellent value.

Awesome band, they were really unique as an all black band playing hard rock and playing it to an exceptionally high level, love these guys. Used to play Love Rears It’s Ugly Head in a rock band many years ago, I’m not sure I could still physically play it now in older age.

I have a Monza, which is the 10" version, it copes perfectly well with my 5 string basses and so did the Goodwood pre-production cab that I had on trial for a short while, so I'm sure the bigger driver in the Monaco will be absolutely fine. it replaced an EBS2x12, which wasn't being worked particularly hard, but the Monza copes with a relatively loud blues band. Not tried it outdoors yet.

I bought a Gibson SG Bass which came with a moulded rectangular case. This fits in the back of the car, but not the boot! As it's a short scale, but a little longer than my Supro Huntington, I'm having difficulty finding a sturdy Gig bag that isn't for a full scale bass that fits. Anyone have any recommendations.

An early one. I think the new ones punch above their weight

If you wouldn't bring a bass into a situation you would put yourself into, you really need to reevaluate your life choices 😁

Earwax completely blocking the ear canal can seem like deafness, like having your ears under the water. The brain doesn't differentiate between signal loss from the inner ear, middle or outer ear, and can start acting up from lack of input. More likely is the prolonged wearing of the headphones which can lead to fatigue. My tinnitus has been with me for about 15 years, and has inspired me to change profession.

One of the very best.
